Ooops, this was made for the stretch version and that is not built anymore !

Change the repo to Buster :
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ buster master-rtpreempt'
and manually disable or delete the stretch repo entry in "software sources", then update and dist-upgrade.
Sorry for missing that.

The repository was added earlier. But deb packages from Buildboot need Python 3.7. Writes can be updated and does not update.

Well the thing with Python has gotten to be absurd, nothing works any more.

Thanks for your attention, I've seen and tried this. Some forum members update linuxcnc every day but don't share how. I think it is necessary through python env like django but I do not have enough knowledge.

Not the same thing/howto/ISO.
The one you think it is, was for Mint 19.2 by Beagle. He was very good at it, shame he left.
This one is done by Snowwy and it is for Linux MX, it is lighter on resources although it boots slower than Mint.
The Python issue has nothing to do with the environment, it suffered to much changes lately to improve security so most of the old stuff does not work with the new versions. So Django will not help.
